Nokia Siemens Networks, the world’s mobile broadband specialist today becomes Nokia Solutions and Networks and is now known as NSN.

The new name reflects NSN’s change of ownership following Nokia’s acquisition of Siemens entire 50 percent stake, which was announced on July 1, 2013, and completed today. Nokia Solutions and Networks is wholly owned by Nokia and will continue to be consolidated by Nokia.

As announced by Nokia, Rajeev Suri will continue as CEO and the NSN executive board will remain unchanged as a result of the transaction.

Unveiling the new name, NSN renewed its commitment to driving leadership in the mobile broadband sector and to operating as a more independent entity.

“While our name and brand have changed, I would like to emphasize that our overall strategy and our focus on mobile broadband remain the same,” said Rajeev Suri, CEO, NSN.

“Our customers will not notice any difference in our unstinting commitment to delivering superior technology and services across the world. Today’s announcement is, however, an exciting new chapter in our transformation story,” added Suri.

When announcing the transaction, Nokia stated its intention to “continue to strengthen the company as a more independent entity”. NSN, therefore, sees continuity and stability as major goals in the change of ownership, and is committed to pressing on with its strategy.

As already reported by Nokia, NSN has delivered four consecutive quarters of strong profitability, positioning the company well for strong long-term leadership in the industry. The turnaround strategy, announced in November 2011, is therefore delivering solid results.
